I primarily bought this for use with a pedal steel guitar as the product comes with a number of preset tunings, including the E9 common to pedal steel. The unique thing about that tuning is that it is not note accurate in that certain strings are to be tuned slightly "off" from the true note. Peterson has programmed a number of these "sweetened" tunings right into this unit.
I use this unit for both electric and acoustic guitar, pedal steel, banjo, mandolin, fiddle and bass guitar. The accuracy of the tuner is incredible.
Logging into the Peterson website, one can customize the unit in the way one wants. I deleted a number of the tunings I would never use (like, cello, sitar, harp, lute and bagpipes) and downloaded others that were not included with the unit (sweetened accoustic guitar). You can also create your own tunings and share them at the Peterson website.
Anyone that does setup on instruments would benefit from the accuracy of this unit. Visit the Peterson website for details as this unit does way more than I could ever describe here.
Comes with a small metal stand to hold it upright, but also has a tripod style mounting hole in the back if you want to buy a bracket to attach this to your mic stand or leg of a pedal steel.
Yes, it is pricey, but in tuners, like anything else, you get what you pay for.

This tunes way more accurate than anything in my box of cheap tuners and this is why I bought it. It feels more solid than it looks.
Now for the nonsense part of this - first you'll have to install chrome browser to hook up the tuner to their web ap. No other browser will work. Disgusting.
Then they will want you to pay 40$ for a software upgrade to use the metronome hardware already built in. I don't know who advised them to sell it like this but they are a fool.
I like the part where they offer a $10 discount on the software for 20 minutes after you register your unit, but if you leave that page (to say... install google chrome) you will never find that deal again.
Awesome tuner, terrible website and marketing scheme.

I think Peterson strobe tuners have improved my ear. I started with their clip, and liked it so much I bought the Stroboplus HD. This tuner is great! I’m not a fan of the rechargeable battery, but the battery is replaceable if and when it dies completely. The metronome function should also be included at this price point, but I did buy it for the tuner, not the metronome.
